Dedra Sibley
ATTORNEY
Hello! I’m Dedra (Dee) Sibley your neighborhood Personal Family Lawyer®. My goal is to be your trusted advisor who helps you make the very best personal, financial, and legal decisions for your family throughout your lifetime. I want to help you not just now, but also when you can’t be there so that I can help guide your loved ones through a difficult process.
In short, my sole focus is to help families avoid collapse after the death or disability of a loved one.
I want you to know you’ve made a big step toward peace of mind simply by reading this.
We have many resources for you so you can ensure your family and loved ones stay out of court and out of conflict, if and when something happens to you. I'd love to share some of these resources with you going forward. Browse around, see what we have, and feel free to request any of the resources we have for you, complimentary.
My professional career spans over 40 years in finance, government contracting, executive administration, and law. I am a proud graduate of Florida A&M College of Law (JD), Webster University (MBA), and UCF (BS/Finance).
As a certified Personal Family Lawyer® (PFL), I have been trained to serve my clients beyond the traditional estate planning model of the past. I provide personalized lifelong legal counsel and guidance each step of the way for my clients. As a PFL member, I am part of a network of 1000s of fellow attorneys all across the United States. That means my clients also have access to the Personal Family Lawyer network countrywide and Dedra (Dee) Sibley – Personal Family Lawyer®.
I have been married to Dennis Sibley, Sr., for over 35 years. I am the mother of 2 sons, Dennis II and Jordan Sibley, 1 daughter-in-law, Temia, and the proud grandmother (Nana) of 5 grandchildren: 3 granddaughters and 2 grandsons.
As your Personal Family Lawyer® I’d love to start protecting the people you love and everything else you care about today. I look forward to meeting you!
Law Firm For You
I have designed my law firm with you and your family in mind. What does that mean for you? It means I will provide my clients with the same care and professionalism I want for my family and loved ones. What that looks like for you is return phone calls, constant communication, and updates on your case. You can call on me for anything you need. Even if you have a legal issue that’s outside my area of expertise, I will do my very best to find you someone else whom I trust. Most importantly, I meet you where you are, whether that’s offering a payment plan, flexible meeting times, or helping with an issue not related to the law.
As part of the network of Personal Family Lawyers I can assist clients who have assets in other states and fully navigate the complexities of multi-state estate planning. In the unfortunate event that something happens to me personally, I assure my clients that their cases will remain in capable hands. I am part of a nationwide network of attorneys who practice estate planning collaboratively, which means that there are experienced professionals ready to step in and provide the same level of care and attention to detail that I offer.
Here’s what it means to work with me:
- You and the well-being of your family are my primary concern.
- I am approachable and open;
- I communicate with you promptly and am available when needed;
- I offer evening & Saturday meetings by appointment;
- I explain legal concepts and options in a way you can understand
- I use technology to help deliver prompt and efficient service to you;
- I respect you and your opinion, and don’t take it for granted when you choose to work with me.
- My goal is to show you that I am your Family Lawyer®.
